Claude AI Just Cracked a Post-Quantum Test Scheme and Found a Faster 7-Round AES Attack

Anthropic says Claude Mythos Preview helped derive an end-to-end key-recovery attack against HAWK-256 and a 200- to 800-fold speedup for an attack on seven-round AES-128. The HAWK attack exploits a previously unused symmetry in the lattice behind the signature scheme. Anthropic's released...

CVE-2026-66033 libssh2 Integer Underflow DoS via AES-GCM Cipher Negotiation

libssh2 through 1.11.1, fixed in commit a2ed82d, contains a pre-authentication integer underflow vulnerability in the ssh2ciphercrypt function in src/openssl.c that allows a malicious SSH server to crash any connecting client by negotiating AES-GCM ciphers during handshake. Attackers can exploit...

CVE-2026-59847

A flaw was found in libssh. Incorrect AES-GCM finalization checks in builds using the OpenSSL backend can effectively remove integrity protection, allowing an in-path attacker to modify plaintext on the wire without detection...

JLSEC-2026-729 wolfSSL's `wc_PKCS7_DecodeAuthEnvelopedData()` does not properly sanitize the AES-GCM authentication...

wolfSSL's wcPKCS7DecodeAuthEnvelopedData does not properly sanitize the AES-GCM authentication tag length received and has no lower bounds check. A man-in-the-middle can therefore truncate the mac field from 16 bytes to 1 byte, reducing the tag check from 2⁻¹²⁸ to 2⁻⁸...

AES-GCM encryption/decryption with extremely large cumulative single message sizes 64 GiB were not properly rejected by the streaming APIs, allowing counter wrap, keystream reuse, and consequent plaintext recovery...

CVE-2026-14969 389-ds-base: 389-ds-base: static initialization vector in aes-cbc/3des-cbc attribute encryption

A flaw was found in 389-ds-base where the LDBM backend attribute encryption uses a hardcoded static initialization vector for AES-CBC and 3DES-CBC operations, allowing an attacker with privileged filesystem access to detect plaintext equality across encrypted entries by comparing ciphertext block...

PT-2026-56040

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Minosoft affected versions supporting Minecraft protocol 1.7 and later Description The CryptManager encryption routine in CryptManager.kt initializes its AES cipher using an initialization vector IV that is set equal to the secret key instead ...

CVE-2026-47775

Envoy OAuth2 filter vulnerability (CVE-2026-47775): prior to versions 1.35.11, 1.36.7, 1.37.3, and 1.38.1, the encrypt()/decrypt() path uses AES-256-CBC without an authentication tag (no HMAC/AEAD), enabling a padding oracle via the /callback endpoint. An attacker with the encrypted CodeVerifier ...

CVE-2026-50086 Aqara unauthenticated AES oracle

The Aqara IAM/SSO gateway gw-builder.aqara.com exposes bidirectional AES round-trups against the platform's signing key without authentication. This is an instance of "CWE-306: Missing Authentication for Critical Function" and "CWE-327: Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm," and has a...

CVE-2026-45328 ESF-IDF: Out-of-Bounds Write in ESP-TEE Secure Service Wrappers

ESF-IDF is the Espressif Internet of Things IOT Development Framework. In versions 5.5.4 and 6.0, the esptee component exposes secure-service wrappers in espsecureservices.c and espsecureservicesiram.c that bridge calls from the user application i.e. the REE to TEE-protected hardware peripherals...

Missing Cryptographic Step

Overview Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Cryptographic Step in the AES-OCB provider when an application uses the EVPCipher interface. The handler silently discards the IV, so every message under a given key runs with the all-zero offset state, causing nonce reuse. If...

CVE-2026-45445

Issue summary: When an application drives an AES-OCB context through the public EVPCipher one-shot interface, the application-supplied initialisation vector IV is silently discarded. Impact summary: Every message encrypted under the same key uses the same effective nonce regardless of the IV...

CVE-2026-45445

CVE-2026-45445 describes a vulnerability in AES-OCB when using OpenSSL EVP_Cipher() in one-shot mode: the application-supplied IV is ignored, causing every encrypted message under the same key to use the same effective nonce. This leads to key/nonce reuse and potential confidentiality loss, and, ...

RUSTSEC-2026-0209 AES-GCM did not enforce limits on AAD length

NIST Special Publication 800-38D specifies that the bit length of the AAD shall not exceed 2^64 - 1 bits. The implementation of AES-GCM in libcrux-aesgcm neither enforced this limit for encryption nor for decryption. Impact Use of AES-GCM with AAD of length exceeding the prescribed maximum length...
